Jimmy Butler (knee surgery) said that while he remains without an official timetable to return, he expects to make it back to the court prior to the playoffs.

"I’m excited at my progression because I know I’m going to be back out there with my guys soon," said Butler in his first presser since going under the knife back in February. The Wolves never released an official timetable for Butler, nor did they announce the specific procedure he had, but Shams Charania indicated he'd be out 4-6 weeks, so we'll go with that. Based off that timetable, the earliest Butler will be able to return to the court will be March 26 against Memphis. He's tough to stash in leagues that don't offer an IR-spot.
